How am I supposed to deal with this
How am I supposed to deal with depression when I have 2 young children to care for ?
I can't even think my own thoughts because they get interrupted because of having to care for the kids.
So I don't know how I feel or how am I supposed to heal from these feelings?
I just feel like I need a break but I can't get one??

What helped me lots was just ignoring them for the first 10 minutes of the day and having a shower by myself, its soo good to just get clean and refreshed then start you feel so much better youll get through this and they will be less demanding one day x
Medicine is all that helps me.
Do you have a partner or friend/family member who can give you a break? Medicine can really help too, and talking to a therapist. The one thing that I always do when I'm feeling especially off is throw my daughter in the car, find a coffee shop at least 20 minutes away, then find a park to sit at and sip my coffee while she plays. Fresh air can be helpful, and sunlight
Medication can be temporary little ones are not easy!

Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

Sleep regression or upping daytime intake?
My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?
